Context
Since the late 1960s it has been known that tools and structures
arising in mathematical logic and proof theory can usefully be applied
to the design of high-level programming languages, and to the
development of reasoning principles for such languages. Yet low-level
languages, such as machine code, and the compilation of high-level
languages into low-level ones have traditionally been seen as having
little or no essential connection to logic.
However, a fundamental discovery of the past two decades has been that
low-level languages are also governed by logical principles. From this
key observation has emerged an active and fascinating new research
area at the frontier of logic and computer science. The
practically-motivated design of logics reflecting the structure of
low-level languages (such as heaps, registers and code pointers) and
low-level properties of programs (such as resource usage) goes hand in
hand with some of the most advanced contemporary research in semantics
and proof theory, including classical realizability and forcing,
double orthogonality, parametricity, linear logic, game semantics,
uniformity, categorical semantics, explicit substitutions, abstract
machines, implicit complexity and resource bounded programming.
The LOLA workshop, affiliated with LICS at FLoC 2018, will bring
together researchers interested in the relationships and connections
between logic and low-level languages and programs. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
